With the Fall sports season coming to an end tomorrow night, it is time to recap how each team’s season panned out and who contributed to each team’s success. This week, we will recap the girls soccer and volleyball seasons followed by the boys soccer and football seasons in next week’s article.
Girls Soccer
This team grew a lot from last season, finishing their campaign with a record of 2-14-2 with wins against Wellington and Trinity. They also tied longtime CVC rival Cuyahoga Heights. Keep this in mind, the girls soccer team went winless a year ago, so improvement was noticeable.
The girls showed a lot of resilience this season led by seniors Isabella Lottig, Rayanna Cogburn, and Avyah Chin along with juniors Kayla Flanagan, Lauren Atanacio, and Olivia Blechschmid. They were strong through the middle from goalkeeper to forward, creating opportunities to attack.
Coach Rebecca Blaine is very proud of how this season went and is excited about what is in store for next year.
“While our record was not above .500, we had many close games this year which was very exciting because it shows how much we have grown from last year to this year. While we will miss our seven seniors who graduate this year, but I am excited for all our returning players to be back for another season! Brooklyn girls soccer emphasizes celebrating the good things and team bonding. I can’t wait to see how much we can accomplish when we work as a team!”
We would like to recognize seniors Isabella Lottig, Ra’mya Fleming, Antonia Torres, Aaliyah Chin, Rayanna Cogburn, Analise Gonzalez, and Ayvah Chin for their hard work and dedication throughout the season and their high school careers.
Way to improve, girls!
Volleyball
This team mostly stayed the same from last year, even with losing quite a few seniors, finishing with a record of 5-19 with wins against Richmond Heights, Cleveland Heights, Rhodes, Cleveland Central Catholic, and a playoff win against Medina Christian Academy. This was a building year for the team with only three players who had ever played on the varsity team before. They were led by seniors Jade Riedel and Ali Millin as Riedel was a force to be reckoned with on defense, leading the team in digs and receptions. Millin led the team in kills and aces.
Even with the lack of experience coming into the year, Coach Debbie Hall is proud of her young squad.
“With our young varsity team having the experience this season and with the large numbers on our JV team who have been improving all year, I am looking forward to seeing our girls being very competitive next season and adding more to our win column.”
We would like to recognize seniors Jade Riedel, Ali Millin, Andrea Guzman, Kiley Sprouse, and Audrena Vega for their continued dedication and for becoming true leaders throughout the season.
The future is bright, girls!
The Fall sports season ends tomorrow night with one final football game at home against the Cuyahoga Heights Red Wolves. Kickoff is at 7:00.
Go Canes!
